Avangard vs. Amur: KHL Match Prediction
On September 11, you will be able to watch the regular KHL championship again, in which Omsk Avangard will play against Amur. The Hawks approached the new season in great shape and have not suffered a single defeat, which cannot be said about Amur. Our experts have drawn conclusions about the teams' shape and have also prepared the most optimal bets for you, which we suggest you read in the betting tip
Command Analysis
Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard showed mixed results during the pre-season, but completely dispelled doubts about its form already in the regular championship, where it won the first match against Sibir with a score of 2:1. Last season, the team consistently made use of the extra player on the court and continued to do so, thanks to which they beat Novosibirsk, scoring two goals in the majority. Then the club again played with a far from serious competitor, in the person of Neftekhimik, and took advantage of the weak defense of the opponent, winning another victory (4:2).
The third match of the regular season, in which Sergei Zvyagin's team met Ak Bars, became a real test for Avangard. Overall, the match was fairly even, but thanks to the excellent execution of shots, the Omsk team managed to get their third victory (4:1). In particular, it is worth praising forward Filatyev, who scored twice.

Amur Khabarovsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Amur started the regular season with away games, which affected its results. In the first two matches, the team was unable to give a worthy rebuff to its opponents and even remained without goals, suffering dry defeats from Minsk Dynamo (0:3) and Vityaz (0:2). Such a weak performance primarily falls on the shoulders of the attacking line and its terrible implementation of dangerous moments near the opponents' goal. However, in the match with the Podolsk team, the team looked much better, which was also noted by the head coach.
They managed to fully reveal their potential in the third match, in which the Tigers played against an opponent of their level in the person of Barys and defeated the Kazakhs with a score of 5:1. The first line finally made itself known, and the club's newcomer Devin Brosseau, on whom the main bet is made, was able to earn two points. One cannot help but note the efforts of goalkeeper Bobkov, without whom the match could have been much more difficult.
Interesting trends for betting
- Amur only made one penalty out of 13 possible
Amur has finally started scoring, but continues to have serious problems with the extra player.
- Khabarovsk players are sent off three times per match on average
The Tigers continue to play neat hockey and rarely break the rules.
Estimated composition
Lozebnikov, Bobkov, Bryntsev, Kulik, Baldaev, Mishchenko, Gurkin, Ryzhikov, Lee, Grachev, Durando, Barulin, Gretsky, Broadhurst, Brosso, Slepets, Drozg, Galchenyuk, Lapin, Gizdatullin, Lee
Trends
Bet 1st goal: "Amur"
In four out of six head-to-head matches, Amur opened the scoring
2.35Bet 3rd period: total over 1.5 goals
In four of the six head-to-head games, the teams scored more than one goal in the third period.
1.75Tip and bets
Avangard is currently significantly superior to its opponent in many parameters, due to which it is a clear favorite. Indeed, the Omsk team approached the regular championship in excellent shape, which they have repeatedly proven, and now they have an excellent opportunity to once again take advantage of the home walls and earn additional points, thereby strengthening their leadership in the east. For the Khabarovsk team, the upcoming match will be the fourth away game, which means the team is seriously exhausted and is unlikely to show its best game against such a powerful competitor. So there is no point in taking risks, but it is better to bet in favor of the home team.
Our prediction is Avangard's victory at 1.77
Bet on total
Both teams have been playing very well defensively this season and have rarely allowed their opponents to realize their attacking potential. That is why we should not expect a large number of goals scored.
Betting Tip - total under five goals for 1.78
Bet on the outcome of the first period
The first period is one of the weakest for Amur. The team rarely creates dangerous moments in the starting period, which is why it has a very low efficiency, which is what we suggest betting on.
Betting Tip - Amur's individual total in the first period is less than 0.5 goals for 1.72
